Again, if it is roughly comparably performant to the average gaming handheld device upon its release, it isn't "very dated." 

The fact that a Steam Deck 2 might come out to outperform it in 2026, doesn't change that. Every single piece of computer hardware released has been outdated a year from its release date. 

When the PS5/Series X released they were comparable to a mid-end gaming computer. The fact that the RTX 3090 released more than a month earlier doesn't make them "very outdated." Consoles are mid-ranged platforms of their form-factor at the date in which they release. Always have been since the invention of dedicated GPU's, always will be. 

I think comparing console to PC and applying it to switch is pointless. PC is a massive market and handheld gaming is niche aside from a Nintendo handheld. To build a PC with ps5/series specs in 2020 would have cost you 1000$ so for the price point it's the best you can get, mean while were getting switch 2 with what the specs we expected from the pro version years ago and ps6 will be coming 2 years after just seems dated to me if you don't share that opinion its fine we can agree to disagree.

This is absurd. These specs are overall better than the Steam Deck and you think Nintendo could've released a device that capable a few years ago? Come on now.
